  1. In a large mixing bowl, combine warm, cooked short-grain rice with sesame seeds, Tenkasu, Aonori seaweed, and Mentsuyu. Gently fold together until evenly distributed.
  2. Moisten your hands with water and take a portion of the rice mixture to shape it into a triangular ball, pressing firmly yet gently.
